Many of the people I know use regular exercise to manage their stress, myself included. Research also shows that exercise can be an effective way to alleviate two of the most common mental disorders: depression and anxiety. From what I have read, excessive exercise is potentially harmful in this situation, but consistent, moderate exercise can be extremely beneficial.

I have been actively working in the fitness industry for 23 years as a personal trainer, group fitness instructor, and fitness manager. Every day I look forward to leading my clients toward a healthier, more functional lifestyle. I train at a private country club and The Four Seasons Resort, as well as offering outdoor bootcamps and providing in-home workouts to those who prefer the highest level of privacy and convenience. Challenge and muscle confusion are key in my training protocol. Never the same workout twice... I love to mix it up! I also enjoy using my golf-fitness expertise with Titleist Performance Institute to assess golfers and help them to improve their game by identifying golf-specific exercises to fit their swing type. On a personal note, I have a wonderful husband as well as 3 beautiful children who encourage me to follow my passion for health and fitness without ever feeling like I am comprimising my love for family.
